Yeah. Loved racing too. But grew up and sold my baby (Electric Blue Pearl- EBP Civic SI) for a better and safer car for my kids (Nissan Armada). I do miss her every time I see another EBP civic SI. But at least I had my racing time.  

Thank you!

Damn ya thats a nice car bro.. uugh its so sad i feel the same seeing another jetta, and now that you dont have your car anymore dont you see like one around ever corner like its just like it does it in spite of us..

 
It does. Cause the kid (rich kid) I sold it to, crash it and totalled it.    If she was still around and rolling around here. I'd be less sad.

ooh wow hoe ironic smae damn thing happen to the jetta.. man im telling you we share the same pain   

I drooled over the Scion tc in the video. That's what I really wanted when I got my eclipse. But it was out of price range for insurance and monthly payments. What I REALLY wanted was a second gen gsx though. I almost had one, black with carbon fiber hood and full Tein suspension. Ahhh, I still day dream over that car. I had talked the guy down to my price range and the person going to buy my current car at the time backed out. I pouted for over a week. That's when I ended up with my 5 speed 3rd gen eclipse. I just wish it had more power. Although it's probably a good thing it doesn't!! Lol

*cough* *clears throat* I mean uh, oh em gee!!!! Do you see those cute doggies in the video!!! I just want to snuggle them!!

Nah, they are cuddly pibbles. Screw media! Lol. I was just trying to pretend to be girly. I am one of those give me wheels and speed kinda girls. Nothing compares to 140 on my boyfriends cbr1000rr

ooh haha ya 140 on a cbr will get anyone going thats for sure.. =) i digg ur race enthusiasm =D.. rights tho aint most pitbulls just the sweetest cuddly lil royded out muscle freaks =P

Pretty much. I hate the rap they get. All of them I've met have been marshmellows. Some of the meanest have been little and medium sized dogs. Not the 'aggressive' ones.

yea right!!! my lil pickacu (chehuahua-Pekingese) is so mean he attacks pits and any other dog he biten a couple ppl.. any pit iv had in my life have been tuff dogs but so sweet to ppl and kids and small animals and dogs.. fighters have made the dog bad and an ugly name... but as ppl say You Cant Judge The Book By Its Cover

his name aint pickacu haha its Taco =p

I agree. Stupid fighters...

so i see u have angels? do u have good luck with them? have they spawned?been sick? any die?
i had a horrible time with them back in the day i probly had around 20 of them in a couple months time they all just died for no apparent reason =/

I have had many spawns and had very good luck until recently. I lost two in my tank and my mom lost one as well. I just had a new set pair up after losing 2 males and can't wait to raise babies from this new pair. How did you have them housed?

aww thats unfortunate. i hope u have better luck with the new ones,, nd well i had 20 guppies a algae eater one catfish had gravel ooh it was a 36 bowfront had 2 back filter marinlands 55g filters ph was at a 7.2 had fake plants fake logs u know fake decor had the tank running for about a year and i when threw so many one right after the other the guppies stayed alive tho.., yo my red devils just got done spawning its there 2nd clutch =D

Heated tank? And what kind of food?

Congrats on the spawn too!

yes heated to about 70-74 ish.. and i think i was using tetra flake food at the time.. i think that food is crap.. but i dont know if the catfish or Chinese algee eater or even the blue gourami could have been killing them

How big were blue gourami, and the angels put in the tank? What type of catfish?

bumble be cat he was only around 4 inch at the time lil guy he grew huge but the gourami was a good size around 3" the angels i started with inchers and had also tried 3" ones almost fully grown i think. =/ its a mystery

Hmmm must of been a reason.

ya im just not ment to have fragile cichlids

I wouldn't say they are very fragile. Just require some specifics.

Sure they get a bad rap, but you never hear of a Golden retriever or a Pekinese ripping a little kids face off, go figure.

Maybe not a golden retriever or Pekinese but it is one of the top 3 family dogs: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2003849/Boy-3-left-horrific-facial-injuries-Labrador-savages-Poole-Harbour.html

Never mind the dog that saved a woman and her young child that the PIT didn't even know.
http://www.lifewithdogs.tv/2011/02/pit-bull-saves-woman-child-from-attacker/

The only reason pits are portrayed in the media is because people feed into it and get into an uproar and cause drama when the breed is in the media. Gives the stations attention and ratings, of course they are going to focus on that.

Here is some info in regards to dogs/pitbull bites:

" A study by Pickney and Kennedy (Pediatrics 1982) listing DBRF from May of 1975 through April of 1980 lists German Shepherd Dogs as the #1 killer for that time period, Husky type dog second and Saint Bernard third. “Indeed since 1975, dogs belonging to more than 30 breeds have been responsible for fatal attacks on people, including Dachshunds, a Yorkshire Terrier, and a Labrador Retriever.”

Municipal Court Judge, Francis X. Gorman (7-8-2004 Toledo, OH) stated: “Obviously the ratio of dog bites per dog versus dog population seemingly would be relevant in this case. .. Candidly, this court feels that ... Pit Bulls do not cause the most bites in the United States. Certainly the bites of mixed breed dogs far exceed those of the Pit Bull because there are many more mixed breed dogs than Pit Bulls. Moreover, even local statistics indicate that, for example, the Chow bites more frequently than the Pit Bull.”

A recent study of the medical charts of minors seeking medical attention for dog bites did actually reference the breed involved (as identified by the veterinarian providing proof of rabies vaccination) to the total breed population as could reasonably be determined by administrative district records (Pediatrics, March 2006). The resulting risk index showed that German Shepherd Dogs were 5 times more likely to cause bite trauma than “pit bulls”.

To put all of this into perspective I offer some additional information that I discovered. In the United States, approximately: 2,000 children are killed every year by their parents, through abuse and neglect (A child is 800 times more likely to be killed by their adult caretaker than by a “Pit Bull”)

Dr. Ian Dunbar, a veterinarian and behaviorist from Berkeley, CA. believes the entire issue is overblown. He maintains more people are killed annually by tripping over their own slippers than all fatal dog attacks combined, regardless of breed.

Even Dr. Julie Gilchrist of the CDC agrees. “The truth is that SUV’s are far more dangerous than pit bulls, and they’re still on the road." "

I'm a dog guy.  Also, I literally have no dog in this fight (boo - terrible pun   )  

From the ASPCA website on Pit Bulls:
The Influence of a Fighting History

When two dogs fight, the conflict is usually ritualized. The objective is for one dog to win the disagreement with little or no bloodshed. The participants try to intimidate each other by engaging in plenty of dramatic-looking behavior, which may include posturing, circling, growling, showing teeth and snarling. Bites delivered during a fight are typically inhibited because the point is to cause pain but not necessarily to inflict serious injuries. Pit bulls have been bred to behave differently during a fight. They may not give warning before becoming aggressive, and they’re less likely to back down when clashing with an opponent. When provoked, they may become aggressive more readily than another breed might. Sometimes they don’t inhibit their bites, so they may cause injury more often than other dogs.

Should You Keep a Pit Bull Away from Other Dogs?

Pit bulls were genetically selected for their fighting ability. What does this mean? It doesn’t mean that they can’t be around other dogs, that they’re unpredictably aggressive or that they will always fight to the death. These are all common myths about pit bulls. It does mean that they may be easily encouraged to fight with other dogs.

So, much like fish, there are traits that are common across the species/breed, and in some cases those traits have been bred into (or out of) the genetic blood lines, but of course each animal is also an individual shaped by its experiences and resultant personality.  I don't believe that you can discount the fact that a dog breed was bred for fighting (and there are certainly more than just the American Pit Bull Terrier or the American Staffordshire Terrier) especially if you own one.  I have a Newfoundland that insists on standing in the waterline between the surf and any people, especially me or my kids, ready to rescue us if necessary (though I think he'd have no clue how to do that, really!).  That dog never gets more than 45 yards from us in the field.  I also have a Coon Hound who, if unleashed, will take off like a shot on a scent and come wandering back about an hour later (maybe).  Neither has ever been trained for those things, but its what their breeds generally have been bred to do, so they sort of instinctively seem to behave that way.  Additionally, neither is willing to mimic the other.  The hound has no interest in water, and the Newf will follow the hound for about 40 yards and then break off and come bounding back to where ever we are.  I'm aware of these tendencies and behaviors, so I warn families at the beach what my newfie is up to when he shadows their kids, and I don't let my coon hound off the leash unless we're inside a solid perimeter of some sort.  I'm not for or against Pit Bulls, but I think you have to recognize their genetics, much like we do with fish.

i Think its just improper breeding... bad owners beating there dog more then u should (all dogs need to be pushed and dominated especially males with nuts) they do it with rage teaching the dog its ok to fight and be angry and explosive and afraid of others.. and the name they get dud3e rotts got the same rap chuhuahuas have it too dobbys mastives german shepards any dog thats large pretty much gets a bad rap but its actually the lil F-ers that do the most attacking

However, if you go off of genetics bred and not how animals are raised and taught then we wouldn't have any of these breeds and we'd all have outside wolves for pets. There is much more outside of this now. You can work with those breeds to train out or tone in those behaviors. Yes they have those drives in them, but they can be locked away or allowed to be brought out too. It's ALL in the owner. Look how many of Michael Vicks dogs went to loving homes with families with no fear of them attacking. Homes with children and other dogs too.

I agree with that Cameron
